Chapter 434: The Culgator of Calkangard (for the Moe Lord Rainer Longtegagen 3/10)
But the Emperor was not willing to leave in disgrace, even though at least a hundred thousand beastmen had already died here, their corpses had long since piled up, and the corpses of those Aqua troops had slowly begun to clog even the Talabek River, and his army had already achieved very brilliant results, even a great victory not seen in decades.
But the enemy still numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
With so many beastmen gathered here, if they continue to march, in addition to the Aldolph Imperial City, even the capitals of the provinces cannot guarantee 100% safety, and the inhabitants of ordinary villages and towns will be slaughtered by them, the beastmen never need humans as captives, for them, the only purpose of human existence is to become their food!
After a short silence, the Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Master Walkma, hasn't there been a reply yet?" ”
A Sky Mage holding a crystal ball beside the Emperor couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I haven't replied yet, there is a powerful and evil magic interfering with the communication, and I'm afraid that something happened to the other side of the mage Isaji who is in charge of this matter." ”
After deciding to use the Northern Expedition as a cover to lay out this trap and use himself as bait, the emperor naturally would not fail to consider possible variables.
Therefore, in addition to sending the Sigma Pope, he also sent a magic master from the Sky Magic Academy to accompany him to the Tarabek Territory, in order to make emergency contact in the event of an accident, which is a power that only a very few high-level Sky Mages have, and they can communicate over long distances with the crystal ball in their hands.
But now that the emperor looked around, he could only see that the crystal ball in the mage's hand was full of darkness, and from time to time it was accompanied by a little blood-red lightning, so he couldn't see anything clearly, and he didn't expect any information to be transmitted.
After hearing this, the chief fire magic master next to him took the time to take a look, and immediately gritted his teeth a little, "It's the power of those evil vampires again, it seems that Sylvania really needs to clean it up!" ”
Sylvania, the stronghold of the undead in the eastern part of the empire and the largest gathering of the undead in the entire Old World, is full of evil undead creatures, all kinds of notorious zombie kings, skeleton kings, necromancers, lichs and the most powerful vampires of the undead will choose to entrench there.
Although it was originally part of the territory of the Empire, after so many years of their operation, the dark canopy driven by necromancy has obscured the sky of Sylvania, where it is almost invisible all year round, ordinary crops or plants cannot grow there, ordinary humans cannot survive there, and even according to legend, as long as a corpse is buried today, the corpse will get up on its own tomorrow to take revenge, in short, it is the ultimate paradise for the undead, It has always been one of the most troublesome hostile forces in the Empire, after all, compared to races such as elves and dwarves, weak humans without any magic resistance are the easiest and most suitable race to be transformed into an undead army.
And the reason why he said it again was because the reinforcements from the direction of the Imperial City of Aldolf had been attacked by the undead before, and as the closest hostile force to the empire except for the beastmen, these undead were really sparing no effort!
"Your Majesty, it's time."
The captain of the guard next to him couldn't help but remind in a low voice, despite the presence of several of their legendary heroes, no matter how much the beasts attacked, there would be absolutely no way to threaten the emperor's safety in a short period of time, but the losses of ordinary troops would only increase with the passage of time.
The emperor led the army to retreat safely after exterminating hundreds of thousands of beastmen, and the emperor had to retreat after fighting all his forces, which was a completely different concept.
Even if they can kill more beastmen here, it is useless, human life is always much more valuable than the life of beasts, but if they are wiped out because of this, it will also have a very big impact on the prestige of the emperor himself and the stability of the empire, and the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages!
Although the chief of the guard did not say these words, of course the emperor also knew this, but he was really unwilling, if he retreated now, this Northern Expedition would directly end in failure, and the loss of his Carl Franz prestige was secondary, he didn't particularly care about these, but the prestige of the empire was damaged and the people were threatened by the beastmen, that was the more important issue, otherwise he would have given the order to retreat a long time ago!
Just when the emperor was a little entangled, the crow father Marago, who was in the distance, suddenly burst out laughing, and took out a black smoky staff from his waist, "Hahaha, it looks like you don't have any reinforcements left, and the sacrifices I need are enough, the emperor of the empire, you have to pay for your lies, destruction and corrosion!" ”
As it cast its spell, a large area of black, ominous light was launched from the staff in the crow father's hand, directly hitting the dozens of elite Rick Janissaries on the emperor's flagship, they immediately let out a wail full of pain, and at the same time, the entire body was quickly amplified several times as quickly as a blow, and a large number of twisted keratinized limbs and spiked tentacles pierced the skin and proliferated from their bodies.
A series of clanging sounds rang out, the sound of their weapons falling to the ground, their hands no longer enough to hold their own, for they had turned into pairs of spur-strewn claws.
In a matter of seconds, the Rick Praetorian Guards, who were originally strong and strong, were now like some huge ugly meat balls, and then they, no, should I say it, they directly used their hands and feet, and pounced on their former allies, all their sanity had been completely lost, and now they were the embodiment of the extreme chaotic power in the old world - Chaos Eggs!
Even the Empire's supreme alchemist, who had always been arrogant, was not only furious after seeing this scene, because in the entire old world, only a powerful staff had such an effect, and it was definitely not a weapon held by Marago, the Raven Father!
"It's Shadow Moguel's famous weapon, the Rodal Wand of Destruction, and its weapon is here, so where is it?"
Several other legendary heroes who also thought about this question also changed color, unlike Marago, the Raven Father, who had only begun to wreak havoc in the Old World in recent decades, Shadow Moguel appeared countless times earlier than it, and it caused countless times more death and destruction than Malago, the Raven Father, and it has always been the mortal enemy of humans and wood elves in the Old World.
And the most terrifying thing is that although it has been recorded three times in human history alone, it always makes a comeback every few decades or hundreds of years, and continues to bring suffering and disaster to many races in the old world order camp.
It won't be killed, or even if it dies, it will be resurrected sooner or later, and even the Wood Elves can't do anything about it, and the Wand of Destruction and Corrosion, which can forcibly transform a powerful warrior into a Chaos Egg, is its famous weapon!
The Empire's supreme alchemist is concerned with Shadow Moguel and its weapons, but the Emperor is concerned with another word that Raven Father Marago said - sacrifice, which is never a good word, because when it comes to sacrifices, it often involves some evil gods from the Chaos Demon Domain of another dimension...
This question did not bother the Emperor for long, for the Raven Father Marago quickly laughed wildly and solved his confusion with practical actions, a portal was opened on the shore closest to the Emperor's flagship, and then a tall minotaur with a pair of blood-red horns more than six meters tall was the first to emerge from it.
It let out a roar of excitement when it looked up to the sky, and then a number of minotaurs armed with two serrated cleavers swarmed out from behind it, leaping straight down at the humans around it, and they couldn't wait to let their blades drink the blood of their enemies!
Seeing the unique blood-red horns, as well as those minotaurs who used double knives instead of heavy weapons such as battle axes, the generalissimo couldn't help but curse angrily, "Damn it, it's the Doomsday Bull Bloodhorn Ragush, and its Kalkangard Slaughterer!" ”
Calkangard, originally a prosperous town belonging to the empire, but on a bloody night, the Doomsday Bull named Bloodhorn Ragush led a large army of Minotaurs to descend, and disaster also befell this prosperous town, even if the wealthy Calkangard Town has a large number of elite garrisons, but it cannot resist the army of beastmen led by the Doomsday Bull.
The Beastmen never needed to be captured, so the Resisters were eventually slaughtered, and because of the number of victims, the Beastmen could not eat all the corpses for a while, so under the orders of the Doomsday Bull, the Beastmen hung the remaining corpses upside down on trees and rocks, or on the spires of the ruins of the town, forming a terrible monument to prove its strength, and the Beastmen would come to taste it from time to time, which was called the storage room of Calkangard.
But this is a bloody massacre for the Empire, and only by killing Bloodhorn Ragush and returning with a thousandfold revenge on the beastmen can they completely wash away this shame and comfort the souls of the victims!
Therefore, as soon as the Doomsday Bull appeared, all the humans who recognized it were full of blood and blood, eager to pounce on it immediately and eat its flesh and blood raw, even the chief of the imperial guard who had always had a serious face was full of anger.
But Doomsday Bull didn't mind at all, but laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha, it looks like I can eat again, I have never tasted the emperor's flesh and blood, maybe you, the little emperor, can let me taste it." ”
The Doomsday Bull violently waved the extraordinarily thick giant machete in his hand, "Kalkangard Slayers, attack!" ”
